Seems the article was pulled

Seems the article was pulled - resolves back to the Sun-Times homepage where our very own UofW grad, Terry "Tank" Johnson will be allowed to travel to Miami to play in the Superbowl.  This after being charged with two counts of violating probation, illegal gun possesion (sorry, Norm), and having his friend shot to death in front of him over a drug deal gone bad.  Rewards, rewards, rewards...

The gun possession was

The gun possession was pretty bogus.

Unregistered firearms? And if you read any articles after the raid on his house when talking about the firearms charges, you can get a glimpse of the attitude many people have regarding those who are simply exercising constitutional guarantees.

I would say the Second Amendment is the most negatively viewed, but the Tenth Amendment doesn't even exist anymore.

I was pretty surprised the judge allowed him to travel. FoxSports had an article the other night in which many defense and even prosecuting attorneys stated that his bond was unusually high and that he was "already in trouble" with this judge.
